hi all!

Hi, I’m a new poster here but not new to the forum I’ve been viewing for a few years now excellent site and lots of good info!
well 2 years ago I got my first ZXR400 L3 (aged 17) I spent about 6 months while I was 16 cleaning her up and getting her ready for the road as I brought her as a right off. Once I’d passed my test I road her for a year and loved it to bits amazing fun little bike! but after a crash, my fault enjoying a roundabout to much and hit some sand and the rest is history I sold her onto a friend and treated myself to a ZXR750 L1 a very nice and powerful bike in its self but I’ve still go that hole that needs filling from the 400. After reading Ed's zxr Blade I really fancy giving it ago (was going to put a zx9r engine into my 750).
So my question to you kind people (and probably asked 100x times before) has anyone got a spec to building one of these beasts? What dos the mods to the frame looks like e.g. strengthening it? Making the engine mounts and were to put them?
Also dos the extra weight effect the suspension? What year engine out of the blade do I need? As from what I understand its changed many times over the years!
Any help would be most appreciated guys! Also a few pics of my bikes
When I got the 400 (notice cable ties lol) most of the damage was under the fairing need new brake disks callipers wiring loom ECU fuse box (you get the picture )
i never really got anypics of the bike all fixed up but heres a crapy on off my phone
and my 750
most of my pics are on here
